How can I download a specific Maven artifact in one command line?

Question

I can install an artifact by install:install-file, but how can I download an artifact?

For example:

mvn download:download-file -Dgroup

Here's what worked for me to download the latest version of an artifact called "component.jar" with Maven 3.1.1 in the end (other suggestions did not, mostly due to maven version changes I believe)

This actually downloads the file and copies it into the local working directory

From bash:

mvn dependency:get \
    -DrepoUrl=http://.../ \
        -Dartifact=com.foo.something:component:LATEST:jar \
        -Dtransitive=false \
        -Ddest=component.jar \
